Expunge your record in Lubbock County
Clearing a Lubbock County arrest means working with the courts in Lubbock and serving every local agency that holds your records. Here's how it works locally — and how we handle it for you.
The courts in Lubbock County
Lubbock County expunctions are filed in the district courts at the courthouse in downtown Lubbock, the legal hub of the South Plains.
Records typically involve the Lubbock Police Department, the county Sheriff's Office, Texas Tech University Police for campus-area cases, the clerks, and DPS.
Local practice notes
As a university town, Lubbock generates high volumes of student-age cases — MIP, public intoxication, small possession, fake-ID variants — most resolved with deferrals or dismissals that become quick expunctions, often pursued years later when careers begin. Many of our Lubbock clients graduated long ago and handle everything remotely. The district courts here move faster than metro-county dockets.
What can be cleared
The eligibility rules are statewide: arrests that ended in dismissal, acquittal, a grand jury no-bill, or no charges at all can generally be expunged, while completed deferred adjudication and certain convictions can be sealed with an order of nondisclosure. What's local is everything else — the courts, the agency list, the DA's review practices, and the timeline.
Lubbock County questions
I got an MIP at Texas Tech ten years ago. Is it still on my record?
If it was never expunged, yes — records don't age off. The good news: alcohol offenses from your minor years are among the simplest records to clear, and you likely qualified long ago.
Can campus police records be expunged too?
Yes — university police departments are records-holding agencies like any other, and the expunction order reaches them when they're properly named in the petition.
